Hello....popping my head up to take a breath and beg for insight.

My PC died Thursday, I'm working off my Macbook/snowball/audacity "travel" set up....and I've got a snag. I have a IVR job that needs to be delivered as A/mu law WAV files....I could do that on my PC...but on the Mac with Audacity I got nothin.

Any suggestions for share ware conversion software that:
1) works on a Mac
2) can convert to A/mu law files.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you (of course this is for a new client-due by EOB! Yikes)

Cool...if anyone in future needs to know...Audacity DOES convert to 8 bit u-law files....I just had to dig a little deeper to find the 'other' options.

okey dokey, back to work

whew! you just saved both of us a lot of work.

i had just come back to see if you'd gotten an answer, and to offer to batch-convert your rush job here if it would help.

more cheers for audacity. it continues to amaze me with what it'll do...especially for a free program.

Ah, thank you Rowell that was very sweet of you to think of that. Yea I'm amazed at all that Audacity can do. I bet I'd be even MORE amazed if I read the instructions Rolls Eyes

Moe,

Actually, I don't stop for directions any more either. I used to, but now I have a GPS, a gift from my wonderful wife Cinda last year.

No GPS for me. I tell the kids "We're on an adventure" and drive around till stuff looks familiar Rolls Eyes I saw a comic on TV not long ago who did a great bit on GPS systems. He said "the lady in his car died so he can't remember how to get to the store anymore."

0h Moe, You are so funny. You could do stand up using all the exchanges between you and your kiddies.
